Christian Community Raises Alarm Over Mozambique Conflict Thu 04th March 2021 | 06:20 PM
JOHANNESBURG (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 04th March, 2021) An umbrella group of Christian churches in southern Africa has sounded the alarm over a humanitarian crisis unfolding in the north of Mozambique, where a quarter of the population has been displaced by what the UN calls a perfect storm of fighting and natural disasters.
The Fellowship of Christian Councils in Southern Africa met by video this week to discuss the situation on Mozambique s Cabo Delgado, a resources-rich region that has been under siege by Islamist insurgents since 2017. The UN estimates that over 530,000 people have been displaced by December, many of them in the past few months. More than 1,300 civilians have been killed.
